Mary was a devoted wife, mother and homemaker. She was a Charter Member of the DAVA of Greene County for several years. Mary cared deeply for her family and friends. One of her favorite pastimes with them was playing cards. She loved to reminisce and tell childhood stories to her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She was a remarkable cook and baker, her cookies and fudge were a family favorite during the holidays. Mary was caring, loving, and sweet, and had a contagious laugh that filled the room. Her patience, soft voice and gentle smile were all so comforting and will always be remembered and greatly missed.
